    As a Dem, i want to thank the dotard for

    flashing a shiny object divert attention away from the in-fighting between Pelosi and the squad.
    the pendulum has swung, it has unified the Dems to attack the bigot-in-chief

    what was a circular firing squad has evolved to be standing one w the bigot as the target​

    Pelosi has been trying to put create some distance from this progressive wing to avoid losing heartland seats out of moderates' fear of socialism. By throwing a bomb in the middle, he forces Pelosi to rhetorically embrace that wing again to denounce his racism. We can see his 2020 campaign strategy already, and it'll include trying to make the Democrats own the positions of their most liberal members. There will be a hefty dose of scare-mongering about how AOC is going to make us all wear hemp underwear and surrender our children to communes, regardless of who the actual candidate is. I don't feel confident saying this was a bad tactic for Trump unless and until he actually loses the election.

    I mean just look at people that normally say whatever is on their minds free from
    Backlash when hiding behind a moniker here. It’s wrong, plain and simple. The president’s wife has been in this country not close to as long as the people he’s called out, which isn’t a great country either (irrelevant I know), but that’s never thought of because she’s white.

    That’s what it’s about, let’s not p***y foot around the giant motivator in all of this.

    This sentiment is patently un-American. If you don’t like something: petition, assemble, and vote.

    Or maybe he doesn’t want to offend you pansy asses because there is no way in hell he believes in what the left is pushing. If he is then he needs to say so and that goes for all of you. Stop bashing Trump for doing **** that nobody else had the nads do when your party has no idea wtf to even run on other than racism, free **** and socialism.

    So now we are going to justify racism by creating a false narrative that they "hate this country" merely because they criticize aspects of it.


    Now let's see some logical consistency @BruceAndre. When a white dude says "America has done worse" when asked to comment on a foreign autocrat's atrocities, is that white man "hating America"? Or can only brown people hate America?

    No one else has the "nads" because it is overtly racist to tell minority groups who are US citizens to "go back home". It's such an old and tried phrase against minority citizens in this country. I've been in the recieving end and many people I know who are ethnically not white have had those type of "go home" comments thrown at them.

    It's absolutely disgusting that now the US president resorts to such obviously racist tropes.

    Indeed. Finally. A president with the nads to push back against the leftists.

    I look forward to the day when he is elevated to his rightful position on Mt. Rushmore. :D

    Trump does not think ahead. But everyone, me included, sometime analyze the effect of what he said / does as if it’s some grand strategy. There is none. If there is one, it’s by nature accidental and not some thought out game plan.

    There isn’t really a need to overthink any of this. He’s a moron that does moronic stuff. Let him shoot his own feet and take full calm cold calculated political advantage of it against him and all of the GOP. Getting overly reactive yourself is what get you in the same shoe and in trouble.

    Ps as for Pelosi, you can play both games. Unite against trump and the silent coward GOP while disagreeing internally on what positions the party should take.

    Imagine if he was smart enough to "push" back against ideological disagrements with nuance rather than racist tropes. Probably would have convinced some centrists using that method.

    But I'm sure his tactics work for his core base.

    Brilliant post. But you left out the part where she married her brother (or two men at the same time, or something like that) so she could get US citizenship.

    “If you’re not happy smelling my farts, then you can leave,” President Trump said, prompting cheers from the audience at a planned “Don’t My Farts Smell Great, Folks? I Have the Best Farts, I Really Do. We Love My Farts and They’re Coming Back” event. “As far as I’m concerned, if you hate my farts, if you hate our country, if you’re not happy smelling them, you can leave.”
